anatomy ch 8 nervous system true/false
myelin sheath insulates dendrites
false
a math problem would require activity of the temporal lobe
false
a person would be more likely to survive trauma to the occipital lobe than the frontal lobe
false
axons are responsible for receiving impulses from other neurons
false
cerebellum connects the two hemispheres of the brain
false
gaps in the myelin sheath reduce speed of impulse
false
neurons can produce themselves if damaged
false
occipital lobe processes stimuli from ears
false
structures which receive impulses and transmit them to the cell body are axons
false
thalamus controls heart rate and breathing
false
thalamus is the most active during running
false
the cerebrum consists of the pons and medulla
false
the cerebrum is the interface between brain and spinal cord
false
the larger cerebellum is what separates humans from primates
false
the longitudinal fissure separates brain into upper and lower halves
false
the major components of the pns are the brain and spinal cord
false
the medulla is responsible for maintaining balance and motor control
false
the nerves arising from the spinal cord consist of only motor neurons
false
the parietal lobes of the cerebrum are located above the ears
false
the pons is responsible for hearing and vision
false
an impulse jumping from node to node speeds it up
true
dendrites transmit impulses toward the cell body
true
frontal lobe processes cognitive and intellect skills
true
inflammation of the outer covering of the brain and spinal cord is meningitis
true
muscle stimulation and sensory input are the two main functions of the nervous system
true
neurons are not capable of cell divison
true
neurons communicate through electrical impulses
true
polio is a viral disease that effects the nerves of the spinal cord
true
schwann cells create the myelin sheath around axons
true
some neurons can stretch for more than 3 or 4 feet long
true
the cell body of a neuron contains organelles to carry on life processes
true
the frontal lobe of phineas gage was injured

true
the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body
true
